Danny had a knee procedure during the playoffs

A: Just taking it slow through training camp. I had an injury in my tendon or something that I flared up in the offseason working out. They put PRP (platelet rich plasma) in it, which is a way to help it heal better. I actually did it toward the end of the Miami series. It was fine, but then I started training this summer and it got irritated, so we just slowed it down.
Q: Would you play if this were the regular season?
A: Yeah, this is more cautionary. We know we have about a month or so before we play our first regular season game.

Re: Danny had a knee procedure during the playoffs

It takes two parties to reach an agreement. You can't give a player more than 1 year if he doesn't want it. That's beyond the control of our management.

And I didn't know DJ was from New Orleans. So Granger and Augustin for Eric Gordon does make some sense in the trade thread.

Augustin/Rivers/Granger/Anderson/Davis that ain't bad at all

Please no.... not again...

I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Re: Danny had a knee procedure during the playoffs

Just bumping this to set the record straight. Mark Montieth reports the timeline on Danny's knee injury. He had the procedure done four weeks ago, not during the playoffs. So he only had the procedure 12 days before this thread was started.

Interesting, he had it done in LA. I thought Kobe and others had to travel to Europe to have it done. Maybe it's approved in the US now?

Granger injured a tendon in his left knee toward the end of the second-round playoff series with Miami last season. He tweaked it during off-season workouts, and received a platelet-rich plasma injection in Los Angeles on Sept. 16. It's a modernistic approach to an age-old problem with athletes' knees, and one that has received encouraging reviews from the likes of Kobe Bryant, who underwent a similar procedure in 2011.

Re: Danny had a knee procedure during the playoffs

I don't have a link, but there is a difference between the German procedure and the one Danny had done. In the US, the platelet-rich procedure just spins the blood to concentrate the platelets. The German procedure also heats [or some other tweak] the blood in addition to spinning it. It is the extra transformation step that is not allowed in the US. The use of platelet-rich plasma is and has been OK in the US.
